Sometimes it&#8217;s like an artist is singing right to you. Stevie&#8217;s words* were on my mind as I struggled with replacing my trusty Brooklyn Bridge print with a new mirror.

http://homeonthechange.com/2012/07/12/add-by-subtraction/Small Change: Frame Makeover for PaintingsA search for decorating makeovers often yields large-scale, wall-gutting, bring-in-the-pros revamps. It&#8217;s easy to forget the simple power of a small change. There is a pair of paint by number paintings that I&#8217;ve passed in a local antique store a few times over the past year. They caught my eye because of a cherry blossom [...]<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~4/_J2YIXV-Hr0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~3/_J2YIXV-Hr0/
http://homeonthechange.com/2012/06/18/small-change-frame-makeover-for-paintings/A Winner is Me!Saturday was a good day. It was a very good day. Wait for it&#8230; the Ice Cube reference is going to be relevant. Our neighborhood had it&#8217;s annual community yard sale, and this was the first year The Husband and I were able to participate. By participate, I mean shop for woefully under-priced treasures offered [...]<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~4/A06KA-BpjgE" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~3/A06KA-BpjgE/

http://homeonthechange.com/2012/05/04/now-im-gonna-pass-the-mic-to-yauch/Mexico Elements: Graphic DesignThe Puerto Morelos area is full of beauty. I don&#8217;t just mean the turquoise waters and palm trees, although those are certainly two of my favorite parts. The lovely coastal architecture&#8211;some of it remarkably simple, some of it fantastical&#8211;has us dreaming of living in one of the homes there. Even the (very utilitarian) weathered fishing [...]<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~4/Y6uS9uSrzsA" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~3/Y6uS9uSrzsA/

That&#8217;s right, we&#8217;re back from vacation today. Boooo! And not even Booo-Urns! The good news is, that&#8217;s not the only photo we took. (What kind of sad sacks would we be if that was the only photo?)

http://homeonthechange.com/2012/04/20/ohhhh-mexico/As Seen on TVDid you see the Mad Men Season 5 premier this weekend? The Husband and I were absolutely thrilled by one big reveal in the episode: Pete and Trudy have our oven in their new home! You may recall during the initial home tour that the awesome &#8217;60s double oven with slide-away cook top was one [...]<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~4/Lt8HYWoW0CU" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~3/Lt8HYWoW0CU/
http://homeonthechange.com/2012/03/27/as-seen-on-tv/The Bookshelf: New Cottage StyleI was happy to get a copy of New Cottage Style: A Sunset Design Guide in the mail last week. You may have figured out by now that I&#8217;m a sucker for home books. And could I resist a cover with that much gratuitous turquoise in the design? No. So often &#8220;cottage&#8221; is keyword for [...]<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~4/yx4qK4xzsU4" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~3/yx4qK4xzsU4/
http://homeonthechange.com/2012/03/20/the-bookshelf-new-cottage-style/Hall Paint, on Actual HallPainting the hall was fun, but tricky. The walls are really sturdy full-board planks, which are great for everything except painting. I used a full gallon of paint just to get a good coat on the tiny hall. In the end, it was all worth it. I love the little pop of jewel-tone color right [...]<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~4/T857L5Tm_OI" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~3/T857L5Tm_OI/
http://homeonthechange.com/2012/03/12/hall-paint-on-actual-hall/“Nice Halls!” -Andrew McCarthy in Mannequin(it makes sense, look it up!) A mini-makeover can be just the thing to get your mind grapes going again when you have decorator&#8217;s block. The hall (which can be seen from the block-inducing living room) was still a sad shade of seafoam green tainting the whole place. This weekend, that hall is going to [...]<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~4/tCTonpZYyDE" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HomeOnTheChange/~3/tCTonpZYyDE/
